Chapter 242: The Truth Revealed
"Wha...... , it's really a full banquet!" Looking at the table full of food in front of her, especially a lot of food she had never seen before, Mo Xi sucked the saliva that flowed out of her mouth and recycled it into her mouth, and without waiting for the host to speak, she picked up the chopsticks and ate wildly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Taking advantage of this gap, Yan Xi gave Bai Lian a 'threatening' look on the other side, but Bai Lian ignored it and gave her a chic 'twisted face and pouting'.
Beichen Feng first greeted the people sitting for a banquet, and then raised his hand to give a gesture to Gonggong Hu beside him, and Gonggong Hu shouted in the direction of the palace door: "Dancing Ji enters the hall-!"
As soon as Gonggong Hu's voice fell, more than 20 lightly dressed but gorgeous beauties danced into the hall with light dance steps.
"Xuan'er, what's wrong with your face?"
Beichen Xuan, who has always favored beauties, turned a blind eye to a large number of beauties who had just entered the hall, and took advantage of everyone's attention to be attracted by food and dancing girls, he seized the opportunity to get hot with Yan Xitao, and poured vegetables and wine, but he never thought that his move attracted the attention of Queen Liu. Empress Liu saw that his nose was covered with a big plaster, and she remembered that the spies and her said in the morning that Beichen Xuan and the Bai sisters were breaking the bridge of their noses, and it happened that Beichen Feng was about to hand over Lian Yun to the Bai brothers and sisters just now, and she was unhappy in her heart, so she thought about leading the matter out, and by the way, the two sisters were charged with beating the royal family, so as to vent the anger in her heart.
Beichen Xuan threw himself on Yan Xi, where did he notice the situation in the outside world, he didn't hear Queen Liu's 'greeting' at all, he just cared about serving Yan Xi vegetables, and said while holding his mouth: "Eat quickly, eat quickly." ”
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Yan Xi's side.
"The Four Princes. The queen is talking to you. Yan Xi was embarrassed, and he felt the gaze of Beichen Fengyun diagonally opposite. She was even more flustered in her heart, and as soon as she raised her hand while speaking, she knocked over the white porcelain bowl in front of her that was full of Beichen Xuan. The delicacies and juices were sprinkled on the table in front of him.
"Ouch, be careful!" Beichen Xuan didn't have time to reply to Queen Liu's words in a panic, so he rushed straight to block in front of Yan Xi, so as not to flow the vegetable juice to Yan Xi.
"Someone!" Father-in-law Hu hurriedly shouted outside the door, and several palace maids ran outside the palace gate. Those palace maids were obviously well-trained, and as soon as they entered the hall, they ran directly to Yan Xi's desk, and quickly cleaned up the things that had been spilled, and the soiled desk was also wiped fresh.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Fourth Prince. Your clothes ......!" Beichen Xuan helped her cover the case, and the clothes on her abdomen were wet with vegetable juice, and Yan Xi hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Beichen Xuan pushed her away and stood up, "Father, mother, son-in-law is rude, son-in-law will go and change clothes first." ”
"What kind of system!" Beichen Feng's mouth came out of four words, full of anger, and his expression when he looked at Beichen Xuan seemed to be full of disgust.
Beichen Xuan's face changed suddenly. Saying that green is not green, saying that purple is not purple, anyway, it is ugly, and then hurriedly left the main hall.
There was something unusual about the atmosphere. Yan Xi felt that Beichen Xuan didn't seem to like Beichen Feng very much.
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Empress Liu's mouth.
"Miss Yanxi, are you okay? Ouyang Mutian, who was sitting on the other side of Yan Xi, finally seized the opportunity to talk to Yan Xi.
"I haven't seen it for a few years, but Mu Tian is so handsome. If it weren't for the Ouyang City Lord here, the mourning family would really not dare to recognize him. "Queen Liu is waiting for an opportunity to start with Ouyang Mutian.
"The queen mother praises falsely. Ouyang Dao. "He's just showing what he's doing. He shook his head and sighed, seemingly disappointed in Ouyang Mutian.
"Why did City Lord Ouyang say this?" said Empress Liu.
"The queen mother didn't know. Ouyang City Lord's words were made with feelings. Beichen Fengyun, who had always been silent, suddenly interjected.
Ouyang Xi was secretly stunned, he didn't know what Beichen Fengyun was going to do.
"Oh?" Beichen Feng sighed lightly, and then beckoned to stop the dancing girls, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Oh, it seems that there is a story, but for my brother, I also want to know how Ouyang Gongzi's title of 'vain appearance' came about. Beichen Zhenlong's brain said with interest.
Ouyang Mutian's face was completely lost, and his face was extremely ugly, but because of the special occasion, he could only suppress his temper.
"Father, mother, brother, I think you also know that the Ouyang family is an official eunuch and a family of rivers and lakes, in addition to them, they are also businessmen in the rich country, the Ouyang family has silk and money villages all over my Beichen, and the business has always been very good, but I don't know why ....... ”
"The third prince, there is a banquet in the saint today, I am afraid that this matter will sweep away the interest of the emperor and the queen, this matter is a family matter of my Ouyang family, and the third prince should not talk about it here. Ouyang Xi interrupted him and said seriously.
"Ouyang City Lord's words are different. Beichen Fengyun didn't mean to let go, "Yes, this is a family affair of the Ouyang family, but if the court officials are involved in this chaos, it is not the family matter of the city lord, but the matter of the state that should be taken seriously." ”
Empress Liu and Beichen Zhenlong's originally high-spirited expressions instantly became solemn. The two looked at each other, and Queen Liu shook her head slightly at Beichen Zhenlong.
"Oh, what is going on? Beichen Feng's face was serious.
"There, the minister made a long story short. The business of the Ouyang family has always developed well, since three months ago, the silk and money villages in various places continue to happen, one after another guests said that the Ouyang family's silk and silver tickets are fake, and asked the store for huge compensation, and even can't help but say that the store was smashed, only in the two months before the accident, the Ouyang family lost millions of taels of silver, until yesterday evening Erchen learned from Mu Tian that the loss has increased to 10 million taels of silver. Beichen Fengyun simply explained the situation that the Ouyang family's industry had suffered in the past few months.
"Oh, seeing you like this, someone must have done it on purpose to make trouble for the Ouyang family?
"My father didn't know that the people who made trouble everywhere were all local ruffians, and as for the people who were behind the scenes...... Erchen has asked the dark guard to invite him to face the saint, and he has to ask his father to administer justice for the Ouyang family. "Beichen Fengyun Road.
No wonder I didn't see the dark night come together, it turned out to be doing business. Yan Xi thought to himself.
"Oh? It seems that the official involved in this case has a lot of titles. "Beichen Feng Road.
"Today, my father has a banquet, let's not disturb his interest, I see that it is not too late to talk about it after the banquet. Beichen Zhenlong Road.
"Brother Huang's meaning Brother Huang understands, but this matter must be resolved immediately, because, if it is after the banquet, it will be inconvenient. "Beichen Fengyun sold a pass.
"What's the inconvenience?" Beichen Zhenlong's face became more and more ugly from just now.
"Because... This matter also involves the Prince's Mansion. "Beichen has a faint demeanor," I have already asked the person involved to wait outside the palace for other reasons, I believe they will come soon, and you will not wait for long. ”
The atmosphere in the hall was tense.
Queen Liu's face turned black in an instant, and so did Beichen Zhenlong.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the dark night appeared at the door of the temple.
"Let him in. Before he could speak, Beichen Fengyun took the lead.
All eyes were on the temple gate.
Dark Night turned around and beckoned behind him.
Walking into the hall in the dark night, with the appearance of a man in armor behind him, the faces of Queen Liu on the main seat and Beichen Zhenlong below instantly became solemn.
"Zhao Liang, the governor of the Imperial City, visited my emperor long live, long live the outer year, long live the queen's mother, and the queen mother was a thousand years old, and the man knelt down to salute the Son of Heaven, and he didn't know the real reason why he was brought here.
"Zhao Liang, do you know why you're here?" asked Beichen Fengyun.
"The lower officials don't know, the secret guards only said that the emperor summoned Weichen here. Zhao Liang lowered his head and said, and secretly raised his eyes to look at Beichen Zhenlong when he spoke.
"Bold Zhao Liang!, are you guilty!?" Beichen Fengyun suddenly shouted.
Yan Xi was not mentally prepared, and was so frightened that he trembled.
Zhao Liang was frightened, but he was also a person who had seen the world, and when he was so drunk, he just bowed his head suddenly, pretending to be calm while being frightened. "Wei Chen doesn't know what crime he has committed, His Royal Highness made it clear!"
"You really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" Beichen Fengyun motioned to speak in the dark night, and the tone in the dark night was even more cold and penetrating than his, "Before January, the third prince returned to the imperial city for the first time, and settled down in General Pan's city tower to rest, but it happened that the banquet was poisoned at that time, can Steward Zhao remember?"
"Yes. Zhao Liang said.
"That night, when the Third Prince returned to the Three Princes' Mansion, hundreds of assassins surrounded the Three Princes' Mansion, do the Three Princes still remember?" asked the dark night.
"Yes. Zhao Liang replied, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"For several months in a row, Ouyang Silk Village in the Imperial City has been smashed again and again, can Steward Zhao know about this matter?" asked again in the dark night.
"Yes. Zhao Liang only felt that his heart began to rush to his throat.
"That's... Steward Zhao knows who did these things?"
Zhao Liang's heart, which had surged to his throat, jumped violently. "The subordinate is incompetent, and he has failed to find out the real culprit behind the scenes!" he said loudly, trying to hide the panic in his heart.
"Hmph! failed to find the real culprit?" Dark Night snorted coldly, "You can't find out the real culprit, because the real culprit behind the scenes is you-Zhao Liang, the governor of the Imperial City!"
With a 'poof', Zhao Liang knelt on his knees. "The emperor is clear! The queen is clear! The secret guard is a pure false accusation! How dare Weichen poison the third prince! That is the capital crime of the Nine Clans!" He was so frightened that he kowtowed to the people on the high seat.
"The evidence is here, how can you quibble!" Dark Night took out a pile of paper from his arms, and then walked towards Beichenfeng, "This is the evidence that Zhao Liang, the governor of the Imperial City, colluded with others to murder the three princes and instructed others to disrupt the business of Ouyang Silk Village. ”
Gonggong Hu took the pile of paper and presented it to Beichenfeng. (To be continued.) )
